okay - please tell me that this is just me..

I tried to do a search for 'bubbler' on ebay. nothing odd about that - until it comes back with a weird page saying ebay has been updated. Now, whenever I type in 'Bubbler' the sodding thing changes my search to 'bubble' no matter how may times I try!

WTF!!!!!!!

    It does something similar when i search it says if this page is all text then its because of the new search function please update your browser i allways update firefox so i think there having teething troubles with the new search gizmo.

    Before christmas on minninova whenether i typed family guy in the search it showed a list of torrents with christmas in the name instead of what i was actually searching for.

    Yes, eBays' search is doing that for me too. A search for Bubbler returns hits for 'bubble'.

    This is explained on the page though, the search for Bubbler has returned zero results so the search has been modified to bubble, the nearest equivalent with results.

    I really hate it when software tries to be 'helpful' doing things I don't ask it to.
